Common Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater
Most water heaters last 8–12 years, but Arizona’s hard water and extreme summer temperatures can reduce that lifespan. Watch for these signs:
-
Inconsistent hot water
-
Rust-colored water
-
Unusual rumbling or banging sounds
-
Visible leaks or corrosion
-
Hot water runs out quickly
-
Increased energy bills
If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing any of these issues, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.

Water Heater Maintenance Tips from Our Experts
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and improve performance. Here’s what we recommend:
-
Flush your tank annually – This removes sediment buildup and helps prevent corrosion.
-
Check the anode rod – Replace it every 3–5 years to protect the tank from rust.
-
Test the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve – This safety feature should be inspected at least once a year.
-
Set the thermostat to 120°F – This ensures safety, energy efficiency, and comfort.
-
Install a water softener – Arizona’s hard water is a major cause of premature water heater failure.
If you’re not comfortable performing these tasks, our Mesa Plumbing team can handle your annual maintenance during a quick in-home visit.
